Digital credentials

People and organisations can grow more effectively when all skills are visible

City & Guilds are now able to help you see all skills, through driving the adoption of digital credentials to close the gap between the skills employers’ need and the skills they can see.

Take control of framing, capturing and communicating the skills of students, staff, employees and those groups you work with i.e. employers, so they can finally be seen for who they really are and who they could be, better connecting them to opportunities and growing their careers and your business along the way.

Join thousands of organisations who are already using digital credentials to revolutionise how they see skills.

Build trust and confidence into all achievements and skills – Large and small

Existing systems and traditions make it hard to provide trusted evidence of achievements and prevent employers from seeing the human skills that are increasingly important in the workplace. Digital credentials create a lifelong richer picture of an individual's achievements and skills, all backed by evidence.

Help individuals stand out from the crowd and get the recognition they deserve for all their skills development and career progression.

Digital Credentials = Shareable Skills

The agile, responsive and trackable world of shareable skills.

A world where objective statements of an individual's learning, development and career progression can now be easily framed, captured and communicated, with trust.

Digital credentials allow us to finally recognise and communicate all skills in a single consistent way. Using the open badge standard, a universal format that creates data-rich credentials for anyone to validate, quickly and easily.

Workplace Skills

Skills Zone acknowledges learners’ work-ready characteristics in the form of digital credentials. There are two levels of badges that learners can achieve: Work Ready and Expert. These digital credentials can be exported or included in the MyCV feature on the platform and displayed on the learner’s LinkedIn profile.

World Chefs

The World's First Global Culinary Certification. A new global benchmark for the culinary industry, designed by Worldchefs with Digitalme support with the platform to issue the badges.

Digital Credentials have brought an important global transferable element to this programme, which is key given how much chefs move around the world and is a response to the need for a globally recognised qualification.

The 4 credentials, Engage, Embark, Embed and Excel, total 19 hours of CPD, and are ideal for those who wish to gain professional recognition for cultivating the employability skills of the students they work with.
